18 to Attend First Academic Retreat Approval of a Student Union Board request for $'133 by ttir* Budget Board will make it possi ble for about HO students to par ticipate in six academic retreats this term. The program will be initiated tins weekend when about 15 stu dents and three faculty members travel to Albert's Lodge on the McKenzie for exchange of ideas in an informal atmosphere. TWO RETREATS were origin ally scheduled for Friday and Saturday, -Jan 11-12 and Jan 18 19, but because of enthusiastic student response funds were re <1 nested so that six retreats can be held this term. After plans were finalized by the Student Union Board Aca demic Retreat committee, stu dents were invited last term to submit letters of interest in at tending one of the retreats. Bill <Taig, chairman, said that more than 80 students responded. Letters included such com ments as, "This is the kind of learning many students come to college for, and yet it is also the kind that is impossible in the large classes at a Mate university Such a retreat provides oppoi tunitics for such students.” ANOTHER interested student wrote, '1 feel that small group Tickets on Sale Tickets for Ihc ski trips spon sored by the S.l'. Board are now on sale at the main desk. The trips to Hoodoo Ski Bowl will he held on the following Saturdays: January 15, Janu ary ?0, February 3, February 10, February 24. and March 3.

After all letters of interest were read, students to attend the first two retreats were chosen by random—two freshmen, three sophomores, three juniors, five seniors, one graduate student and one foreign student Craig said it is the purpose of these first retreats to include students of differing backgrounds, varying interests, and different levels in education. THE TOPIC chosen is "Present Trends in American Thought,” which will be the starting point for discussion Later, more speci lie subjects may be selected Craig expressed the hope of his committee that "sometime in his college career every student who wants to go on an academic re treat vill have the opportunity to participate.” I,otters are being sent to all students who originally respond ed to the invitation to submit letters of interest in the program. These students will be given the first opportunity to attend one of the six retreats this term Craig said that other students may be invited to apply if there are spaces open An announcement will be made later. Members of the Academic Re heat committee are Mary Ann Lean, Larry Derr, Mary Ellen .lulifs, Dennis Lynch, Ron Sikes, Hal Snow and Joan Yasui.

Preliminary discussions took place between Leo Harris, direc tor of athletics, and A. L. (Si) Ellingson. SU director and direc tor of educational activities. Var ious organizations that might be concerned were asked to submit budgets and the $300 figure was arrived at after these were com piled and discussed.

Tuesday at the Free Speech plat form in front of the SU in an ad dress that "will be very critical" of student government. Goldschmidt said the speech would review the presidential committee system and would in clude a broad review of student government generally, but would not discuss any new programs specifically. He said he was going to make the speech bcca,,se he feels the student body president should ad dress students directly and should make himself open to questions.
